Phil Radford

Phil Radford "is in a unique position as he takes the helm and builds on Greenpeace's rich legacy. Having served as Greenpeace USA's Grassroots Director for the past 6 years, he has unsurpassed experience in movement building.

"As Grassroots Director, it was Phil's vision and leadership that built Greenpeace's $9 million Grassroots Program and our cutting edge online to on-the-ground organizing, as well as a robust student organizing and training program and the national street and door-to-door canvass program. "Greenpeace is the organization that works with people rather than paper," Phil says. For many years, Phil was leading the team that was out in the field, talking to the people, gaining their support, and building stronger alliances for the environmental movement to march onward...

"Phil Radford earned a Bachelor degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1998, and holds a certificate in Non-profit Management from Georgetown University."

"Before joining Greenpeace, Radford founded a nonprofit group called Power Shift aimed at boosting use of clean energy sources. He worked with city governments to make renewable and energy efficiency investments for municipal buildings, according to Greenpeace."
